During the Clone Wars, 10,000 of these units were constructed to ferry weaponry, troops, supplies into battle. Riding on the back everything is unprotected, the body is Armoured, but there is no protection over the back, leaving troops or supplies vulnerable to attack. This led to it's demise as a transport, and it was phased out in 8 BBY during the Imperial/Sith Reign.
